looking good mate

Very nice, great job:thumb:

cheers fellas, does anyone know if 18s will fit on ok if i get the right offset, dont want them to rub?
or will i need coilovers or new springs??

I have one of those alloys sitting in my garage, pretty rare wheels now:)

there speedlines i think

Very nice job well done, you wanna respray mine ?? And how are you at fitting twin plate clutches'

Nice one mate. Good job

Spot on looks sweet mate best colour!!!

Cheers guys - i Didnt paint it, gmotorsports in peterborough did it £1200.
Im useless when it comes to cars dont think you would want me to fit that clutch. Lol.
What other mods do you think i should add?

Looks nice that

Nice car that, sure I saw you the other evening heading towards guyhirn coming from Thorney.

cheers pal, not me tho, never heard of those places lol. Im from leicestershire.

Sort the suspension out & get some decent tyres before you get it remapped :thumb:

s10 wrc - got my map on wednesday mate and working until tuesday dont think i will have time to sort tyres and suspention.
I was thinking of putting some new springs on to lower it a bit.
What do you advise pal?

couple of new pics added after modding it up a little,what i have done is updated above the 2 pics, what you think guys?

Looks great lowered , nice colour

Nice, in the best colour too.
Yes mine is that colour lol.

looks really nice, a good save of a classic :)

tinted front windows though...leave them be and avoid looking like one of those Chelsea Tractor w@kers (and avoid 3 points) ;)

Congratulations,, beautiful classic and the best. In my opinion the standard alloys are great. The only change to consider is stainless steel exhaust to make the classic last forever.

Seven years old that thread Boss.

I live in the past...

They say theres no time like the present , but I think your right the past is much better with hind sight.:banana:

Great words. I'll live on that🌻

I love the finish on the calipers,

did you do them yourself, or get them powder coated?

Lovely looking car and looks to be in great shape. You don't see too many in this kind of condition nowadays.
I completely agree with you that it's up to you what you want to pay for a car, I'll always pay the premium to get the best I can find.

Lol i think not.
